If you’re using a Roku device to stream Amazon Prime Video, you might find it frustrating that there’s no easy way to switch between different Amazon accounts. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. In this article, we’ll show you two methods to change your Amazon account on Roku.
Method 1: Deregister your device
This is the simplest method and it works on most Roku devices. Just follow these steps:
- Launch the Amazon Prime Video app on your Roku device.
- Highlight the Settings option in the upper right corner using the arrow buttons on your remote.
- Press OK to open the Settings page.
- Scroll to the right and select the Unregister your device option.
- Confirm by pressing OK.
- Once you’ve successfully unregistered your device, launch the Amazon Prime Video app again.
- Select Sign in and start watching.
- Enter the login credentials of the new Amazon account.
- Enjoy watching from your new account.
Method 2: Perform a factory reset
If the first method doesn’t work for you, you can try performing a factory reset on your Roku device. Keep in mind that this will remove all your login information, so you’ll need to set it up again. Here’s how to do it:
- Launch your Roku player.
- Press the Home button on the remote control to access the Roku home screen.
- Select the System option.
- Go to advanced system settings.
- Choose the Factory Reset option.
- Select the Factory Reset All option.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.
- Once the factory reset is done, set up your Roku device again by entering your credentials and other information.
- You’ll be able to use your new Amazon account on the Amazon Prime Video app.
